A possible Nevada recruiting target

Recruiting is such a fluid entity and also permeated with feints and propaganda so we never get overly excited when we comes across a Western Athletic Conference (WAC) -related recruiting item.

With that in mind, the Rivals ArizonaPreps site, hosted by Anthony Ray, had a mention about 6-8 Brandon Garrett with Nevada apparently showing some interest.

Garrett is a 2008 high school grad (Paradise Valley) with up-in-the-air plans regarding the upcoming school year. He hasn't committed to either a college or a prep school as yet. His length and quickness are intriguing but he remains a ways off from being ready to contribute.

Our understanding is that Nevada doesn't have a scholarship to issue so maybe the Wolf Pack interest is as a walk-on.

Matt LaGrone left Nevada fairly recently to play football at Oregon State, and that scholarship is available. Nevada can issue this scholarship now or save it for next season.

With Matt Lagrone's departure, Nevada has one available basketball scholarship available for this year.

Thanks for filling me in on Nevada;'s schollie situation.

I think Garrett weighs less than 200 pounds although I haven't been able to confirm this. So if true, it would be hard to see him as a center or power forward at this time -- which seems to be Nevada's priority.

Let's see what happens.
